You know, it's a great time to be a Linux user! More support and applications than ever before. Software containers like SnapPaks and Flatpaks are also being a big help here, but there are still some applications we and those not on Linux yet want brought over. So what is one piece of software that you want to come to Linux?

It doesn't happen often but, when the stars align just right, you can find some good discounts at the Purism store.
